Together Our Voice Can Change The World

After seeing yesterdays BLOG's response I thought real life story should be continued  (Paramjit Kaur from Kolkata mailed me that she want to volunteer for them,Thanks Paramjit).
First I will share about non-residential volunteers  who are silently giving there service in 'Voice Of World'. When there is any public gathering or some function  they  may not have come in that but they never miss the time when to give service.I have already told about Chhanda madam who is instrumental for Rani's improvement(Pls refer older post)

Alok Uncle is recording Chhoti's  course material in a audio cassette from her book
Alok kaku(Mr. Alok Jyoti Roy) retd govt employee use to come Dorjipara centre(at North kolkata) thrice in a week on his own from Bandel (Hoogly dist of West Bengal).He is giving reader service and tution to Chhotti. I hv seen him doing record from chapters of book in a cassete.
I came to know just  day before yesterday he was suffering from viral fever.What made him to come here without taking rest at home?

Mr. Dipankar Bose a retd marketing personnel came to know about Voice of World from his friend Sujit Kaku( Mr Sujit Mukherjee who donated a land in Saltighat and attached to VOW much before) .Dipankar Kaku started giving voluntary service from 2009. He is very good in writing letter  so he is drafting all most all correspondence  of Sakherbazar branch.Last para of my previous BLOG was his draft.

Krishna Dey(Sengupta) came in contact of VOW through her friend who is colleague of Gargi di(founder of VOW) in Indian Railway.From 2002 she was assisting in project work  but side by side she has taken  day matron job of the girls hostel . I have seen  this lady  is always busy with something on the other jobs with  always ready  attitude.

Shampa Dutta of Santiniketan came here in 2003 to do a practical training on Cerebral Palsy under "Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy".Her journey continues,now she is residential volunteer .After some year her brother Madhav also join as volunteers followed by  cousin sister Munmun ( deaf and dumb)who is studying here and giving voluntary service .  All three of them are staying here only.I hv requested Shampa to write her experince on her own....

Shyamali who was doing a job with  a poetic mind met Gargidi in 2006 while doing a workshop in near by school .She came closer when Gargidi visit her village RaiDighi at 24pgs(south) in West Bengal knowing there are some blind children  who need help.
Shyamali had an idea that all handicapped children are dependent to other for lifelong till she visit VOW centres.She was surprised to see that they were cooking,doing household jobs,playing tabla,doing computers on their own.This was her turning point.She thought "if they can do so many things managing their
problem why can't I".

She join as residential volunteer in 2008 hoping to help others and to enhance her own personality. I hv seen Prasun who came from a home with Cerebral Palsy and due to paralytic  condition there was no movement in hand and leg .Prasun can't see,had severe hearing loss and dumbness.So think how a person can communicate with that little child who can't move see and hear your instruction and can't express.Just think.Nothing left...

Yes there is still some hope.... By touch one can communicate.Shyamali and her team use this 'sense of touch ' fully  and started communicating with Prasun.After six month's regular physiotherapy by Shyamali ..Now Prasun can stand on his own and can walk.
